Numerical solutions for some coupled nonlinear evolution equations by using spectral collocation method

In this paper, we introduce a spectral collocation method based on Lagrange polynomials for spatial derivatives to obtain numerical solutions for some coupled nonlinear evolution equations. The problem is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations that are solved by the fourth order Runge–Kutta method. Numerical results of coupled Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations, coupled modified KdV equations, coupled KdV system and Boussinesq system are obtained. The present results are in good agreement with the exact solutions. Moreover, the method can be applied to a wide class of coupled nonlinear evolution equations.

We study infinite-dimensional Liouville–Lax integrable nonlinear dynamical systems. For these systems, we consider the problem of finding an appropriate set of initial conditions leading to typical solutions such as solitons and traveling waves. We develop an approach to the solution of this problem based on the exact reduction of a given nonlinear dynamical system to its finite-dimensional invariant submanifolds and the subsequent investigation of the system of ordinary differential equations obtained by qualitative analysis. The efficiency of the approach proposed is demonstrated by the examples of the Korteweg–de Vries equation, the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and a hydrodynamic model.

The paper deals with the initial-value problems for the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equations on the half-line and on the whole-line for complex-valued measurable and exponentially decreasing potentials. The time evolution equation for the reflection coefficient is derived and then a one-to-one correspondence between the scattering data and the solution of the KdV equation is shown. Families of exact solutions of the KdV equation are represented for the class of reflection-free potentials, in which the inverse scattering problem associated with the KdV equation can be solved exactly. Some helpful examples of soliton solutions of the KdV equation are provided.

Improving Variational Iteration Method with Auxiliary Parameter for Nonlinear Time-Fractional Partial Differential Equations

In this research, we present a new approach based on variational iteration method for solving nonlinear time-fractional partial differential equations in large domains. The convergence of the method is shown with the aid of Banach fixed point theorem. The maximum error bound is specified. The optimal value of auxiliary parameter is obtained by use of residual error function. The fractional derivatives are taken in the Caputo sense. Numerical examples that involve the time-fractional Burgers equation, the time-fractional fifth-order Korteweg–de Vries equation and the time-fractional Fornberg–Whitham equation are examined to show the appropriate properties of the method. The results reveal that a new approach is very effective and convenient.

The general solutions of the fKdV equation are formed considering an ansatz of the solution in terms of tanh. Then, in particular, some exact solutions are found for the two fifth order KdV-type equations given by the Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon equation and the another fifth order equation. The obtained solutions include solitary wave solution for both the two equations.
